2010 Residency Graduates Score Big

The University of Florida College Of Medicine-Jacksonville Medicine Residency Program is proud to announce that 100% of the 2010 graduating class passed the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) exam on their first attempt. Certification by the ABIM means that internists have demonstrated that they have the clinical judgment, skills and attitudes essential for the delivery of excellent patient care.

“As the Internal Medicine Residency Program Director, I have been personal witness to the hard work these graduates put in to achieve this wonderful accomplishment. Whether it was weekly board review, participation at core conferences, or just the countless hours studying, their efforts have resulted in what will surely be the beginning of many successful achievements”, said Jeffrey G. House, D.O., Assistant Professor and Program Director for the Internal Medicine Residency Program.

Arshag D. Mooradian, M.D., Professor and Chair of the Department of Medicine said, “This exceptional outcome puts us in the top tier of all training programs. This would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our faculty and staff involved in the training program.”

Board Certification also demonstrates that physicians have met the standards through study, self-assessment and evaluation that encompass the six general competencies established by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

Pass rates for all Internal Medicine training programs in the United States for the last three years are posted on the ABIM website.
